Structurally, the Student AVMA consists of an Executive Board and a House of Delegates (HOD) composed of two representatives from each member chapter. The House of Delegates meets twice yearly; in July during the AVMA Convention, and in the spring during the annual Student AVMA Educational Symposium. Members of the Executive Board are selected by the House of Delegates. They include the president, president-elect, secretary, treasurer, international exchange officer, communications and public relations officer, editor-in-chief, global and public health officer, veterinary economics officer, and cultural outreach officer. The formation of a national organization of veterinary students has enabled what were once isolated student chapters to function effectively as a single unit on the national scene. The Student AVMA coordinates student chapter functions, promotes the exchange of ideas and information among students, and represents its members in matters that concern them, both as students and as future veterinarians.

This award will help me continue creating opportunities for students to connect, serve, and support one another while making a positive impact beyond the classroom. I’m incredibly grateful to SAVMA for this recognition and for believing in the importance of fostering a profession where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and inspired to give back.”
Tommy DeMarco, Rowan University Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine:
